The
status quo was maintained today with Divers, Grebe and Waxwings all still in
situ.
Early
on there was a drake Goldeneye in South Bay and a couple of extra Red-throated
Divers in the South Bay/Harbour area. A male Stonechat was behind Marine Drive,
from the shelter 3 Eiders went north and there were 3 Common Scoter on the sea
and on the harbour wall (East Pier) there were 38 Purple Sandpipers.
At
Long Nab going south were 52 Common Scoter (6 north), 8 Red-throated Diver (12
north), a Great Northern Diver went north, a late Sparrowhawk and a Great Skua.
Also of note was a Guillemot in breeding plumage.
A
solitary Waxwing was seen back on Wreyfield Drive at 11.00 am where there are
plenty of berries, meanwhile this afternoon there were only 7 on Victoria Road
where the berries are now exhausted.
Elsewhere
there were 100 Fieldfares at Carr Fields Lane, Ayton.
